1) Si...I&#39;ve a couple theories (aka W.A.G.s)...<br /><br />1) Since a bunch of the photos appear to be &quot;Leona&#39;s&quot; and since Leona and Bill (and Sam) lived in Palo Alto at the time (c. 1910-1916), perhaps Leona, who was older (and old enough) dated this Leo Harrington?<br /><br />2) Bill was off somewhere (perhaps in Venice, Los Angeles, perhaps not - I found some canals in Alameda and they have some palm trees too!) when he encountered this guy &quot;far from home&quot; and discovered they were &quot;neighbors&quot; from back home.<br /><br />The Leo Harrington that went to Sanford graduated and became a lawyer, first in Oklahoma, and then in Washington DC (where he died). He wouldn&#39;t have put Tonopah on the photo after sometime before the year 1930... since Leo moved to Oklahoma after his college years (I can&#39;t find him in the 1920 US census). If this &quot;logic&quot; holds - Leo was a &quot;contemporary&quot; of Leona and/or Bill (i.e., the photo is circa 1914-1918 or even 1920-something) and they were linked by geographical proximity if by no other reason.Intense Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-11518545512613355972013-06-19T08:58:39.068-07:002013-06-19T08:58:39.068-07:00That&#39;s intriguing!

I was going to say that maybe Tonopal was a small town where Leo was from, or more likely, the name of the place where he is posing in the picture. I&#39;s guess the second, since the label is ON the picture.Mariannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-80650234020525844072013-06-18T10:14:33.205-07:002013-06-18T10:14:33.205-07:00Maybe this makes sense?

The 1910 US Census shows him living in Tonopah, Nye, Nevada, age 17. He could well have attended Sanford U (as the record you link to show).<br /><br />Was this man someone Bill sold a car to?<br /><br />I think that particular Leo W was Leo Walter Harrington, born 15 Oct 1893 in Butte, Montana. He later lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma with his wife Vessie and died Jun 1954.<br />Intense Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-17354538691802481952013-06-17T14:33:02.709-07:002013-06-17T14:33:02.709-07:00Maybe Leo was from Tonopal:)Maybe Leo was from Tonopal:)Far Side of Fiftyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-2783028043982291042013-06-17T14:19:01.090-07:002013-06-17T14:19:01.090-07:00A relative maybe! :)A relative maybe! :)Far Side of Fiftyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-19380758632004557792013-06-17T07:14:32.387-07:002013-06-17T07:14:32.387-07:00Given the big palm tree - and the &quot;canal&quot...Given the big palm tree - and the &quot;canal&quot; or lagoon behind the fellow - I&#39;d say he&#39;s either in Southern California (perhaps a place like Venice, Los Angeles) or in Florida or other southern state.<br /><br />But I&#39;ve no clue as to what tonopal could be! :)<br /><br />There is a Leo Harrington, a college professor of Mathematics teaching at University of California, Berkeley who (although much greyer) looks sort of like this fellow.<br /><br />http://math.berkeley.edu/people/faculty/leo-harringtonIntense Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-16736929659914097862013-06-17T04:07:29.601-07:002013-06-17T04:07:29.601-07:00There&#39;s a Tonopalo Resort in Lake Tahoe.
